What is the reason for children's partial eating?

Everyone knows that every child is the focus of attention in the family, with the continuous progress of society. Parents give their children all the good things they can, but some children still develop bad habits. This makes some parents feel at a loss, especially when their children become picky eaters, which gives them a headache. So, what are the reasons why children are picky eaters?

1. Long-term monotonous diet. There are two situations. One is that you feel sick of a certain food after eating it for a long time, and finally you don't like to eat it anymore. Second, people become accustomed to the food they have been eating for a long time, which leads to rejection of certain new foods with different tastes.

2. Influenced by parents’ picky eating habits. Parents should set a good example and not allow their children to be picky eaters.

3. Temporary intolerance to certain foods, such as eating improperly prepared or stored food, or eating greasy food that is not suitable for eating due to illness, which causes a loss of appetite and develops into a fixed picky eater.

4. Loving to eat snacks or eating too much snacks will lead to picky eating. On the one hand, eating too many snacks will affect your appetite and eventually lead to picky eating. On the other hand, loving to eat snacks, especially only eating processed snacks, will make the child's taste increasingly "behaved", and it will be more difficult for him to accept vegetables or other processed meals.

5. Some families watch TV while eating, or play while eating, which will distract the children and prevent them from concentrating on eating. In some families, when children are eating, parents stare at them for fear that they are not eating enough or eating well. Gradually, the children will use eating slowly as a means of threatening adults, and exchange the adults' attention and care for them. Over time, this habit is formed, and the more anxious the parents are to make them eat, the worse the children will eat.

Solution:

1. Give your child a variety of foods and mix all kinds of vegetarian foods together to gradually cultivate the child's habit of eating coarse and grain foods. This can correct the child's bad habits of being picky and partial to food;

2. Make mealtime a quiet and happy moment. Parents should not resort to coaxing, intimidation or other means to force their children to eat, and they should not lecture their children while they are eating - the more nervous the child is, the less he or she will eat.

3. When the child eats well, pay more attention to him and praise him appropriately; when he refuses to eat, pay less attention to him. Sometimes children want to win attention by refusing food.

4. Do not give children food with too much seasoning or salt, give as few snacks as possible, and do not fill their stomachs with drinks before meals.

5. Supplement appropriate amounts of trace elements and vitamins. Domestic survey data show that anorexic children are often accompanied by varying degrees of zinc deficiency. Therefore, children with anorexia need to be given zinc preparations, generally for 1-2 months. As the zinc deficiency is corrected, the child's appetite will be greatly improved. For zinc supplementation, we recommend fourth-generation protein zinc such as Xinxian Gaojixing tablets. They are highly active and easily absorbed, have no irritation to the baby's stomach and intestines, are safer than any other products, and taste better.

6. Pay attention to the variety of food to attract children's appetite. At the same time, pay attention to cooking techniques. If the child does not eat meat, you can make dumplings or wontons; if the child does not eat tofu, you can make it into braised dried meat; if the child does not eat fish, you can make it into fish balls; try your best to make the child's dietary nutrition reach a "balanced diet" with a combination of coarse, fine and vegetarian food.

According to this article, everyone should know the reasons why children are picky eaters. Generally speaking, children's eating habits are also related to their parents and the environment they live in. Therefore, after parents understand this, they should avoid these reasons in their daily lives. After all, children's physical health cannot be achieved if their diet is unreasonable.
